‘Taste of the Past’ event

The event will take place on Monday 21st September from 2.00pm until 4.00pm at the Roe Valley Arts and Cultural Centre.

Sarah Carson, Collections Access Officer at Coleraine Museum commented, ‘This free event is a fantastic opportunity to not only focus on the great work going on all over the world to fight dementia, but to also experience traditional baking techniques and explore the various utensils that were once used within the home.

‘I’d encourage everyone to experience this afternoon of traditional baking and cooking by Forage Ireland which will be accompanied by a handling session, with items from our museum’s collections.’

Visitors will also get the opportunity to visit two heritage exhibitions on display at Roe Valley Arts and Cultural Centre. ‘The Groups of Limavady Past’ displays a selection of photographs of groups within Limavady, including church groups, shop staff members, choirs, Boys Brigade, Scout groups and Roe Valley Women’s Institute.

The second heritage exhibition, ‘Women Involved in family, friendship and community’ looks at the history of the local Women’s Institute’s.
